Blatman Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Kevin Jones had a front cycle wing stay break which let the cycle wing and remaining 'bit' dig into the slick so he trailed white smoke all the way round - bit odd that no flag was shown to him... maybe they thought red indians were sending a message Going... Gone... Quote
Blatman Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 QUOTE Del's car wouldn't run in the afternoon after he'd handed it over to Paul Aspden possible fueling problem I think Dels car... Dels cars with Paul at the wheel... Quote
Blatman Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Mr Chairman Edden got sent back to the paddock for being a noisy git.... and then he started his engine the Speed Series 'gang' rallied round and helped him get it repacked (also helped by Paul waving his credit card at Merlin Motorsport) though not aided by a couple of allen bolts being seized in the endcaps - "so Paul, when did you last repack this?" "erm....it hasn't been touched since it went on the car 7 years ago..." all sorted and they let him out for the afternoon Quote
Blatman Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 and finally, mr ex-chairman Stanton's burgundy car was seen in the paddock in new hands so it'll be interesting to see it being driven by someone else - who mentioned power to weight ratio or 'talent' Quote
Blatman Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 And because I'm caning the Boardroom bandwidth with all these pics, here's one of our esteemed Webmaster... And for balance, here's our esteemed Webmaster missing the apex Taxiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Quote

Blatman Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I also have a picture of the other Pete G who was there, but it's soooooo bad I daren't publish on a website that can be viewed by humans But all things considered, Dad was looking really well. Nice to see you Dad, as it was all the other folks who were unfortunate to have me walk over and say hello... Quote

Numbers Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 ! am the "somebody else" in Marks old car. Actually found my way round without getting lost (see Loton some years ago) or hitting anything. Easiest 100 points I am ever likely to get, where was everybody? Martin - sorry to hear your wife is unwell - best wishes. As 6th reserve I probably got in as you weren't there. Quote

dreed Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks for all the best wishes, decided to take a break away from it all in the motorhome, to try to recharge my batteries, it was cold and wet, have come home early to find water leak in front garden, It's looking as though it's not going to be my year and I've not heard from the insurers with a decision yet.

peterg Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Full results now available Looks like Stewart Robb wound the wick up to go just under 113secs for the Top12 runoff I wonder what Mr Algar senior would have managed if he'd been there Quote
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Sub 110 He did 115 on 7 cylinders last year in the damp Quote
Numbers Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Hi Rob In disguise, anyway I thought it more appropriate than my office nickname "Carefull" past history considered. Although I was being very carefull at CC. Gurston next if they let me in. Planning to get their early so I can make the appropriate sacrifice to the gods and maybe make it to the top this year. Quote
